TG-300 is the smallest smoker in Louisiana Grill's Country Smokers line. The tabletop body has short legs and no wheels. At 26.5" H x 36.5" W x 19.5" D weighing 94 pounds it is big enough to smoke a turkey and small enough to transport in a truck or van. Our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal goes to this tailgater.

Traeger Texas Grill Pellet Smoker Review
The Texas Grill is a large model in Traeger's line of residential pellet smokers. Although it has an upgraded digital controller, it is still an older style notched dial control like those made by Ortech. Not as good as a touch pad, but not bad. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Traeger Lil’ Pig Pellet Smoker Review
The Traeger Lil' Pig Pellet Smoker is a novelty smoker that consists of Traeger's Lil' Tex Elite dressed up to look like a pink pig. On the upside it has a digital controller and an eye catching appearance that Traeger believes is sure to make your guests "squeal". BUT it weighs and costs twice as much as an Elite.
Traeger Lil’ Tex Elite Pellet Smoker Review
Traeger Lil' Tex Elite Pellet Smoker is a mid-size pellet smoker featuring digital thermostatic control. Thermostatically controlled pellet smokers can be more accurate than your kitchen range and let you load up your smoker at 11 pm, then go to bed and sleep soundly. Our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal goes to this model.
Traeger Lil’ Tex Pellet Smoker Review
In the past this popular cooker served as a great starter for people interested in pellet cooking. Alas, because there is no thermostatic control, it will not always cook at the same temp because it will not respond to ambient air temp. We don't recommend the Traeger Lil' Tex Pellet Smoker model.
Traeger Junior Pellet Smoker Review
As the name indicates, Traeger Junior is a smallish pellet smoker. Unfortunately it has no thermostatic control, so temperature is inaccurate because it will not respond to ambient air temp. We don't recommend this model.Up Your BBQ IQ By Joining The Pitmaster Club
